Well, it's back to reality today. Back home. No more "cation". This really was the best weekend...I could not have asked for more. Time with my handsome hubby and my beautiful girls, time away from the stress and uncertainty of the job situation, new adventures to share with the kids. Christian and I were equally bummed the entire car ride home. As we said goodbye to the lake on our way out of town this morning, we knew we'd be back next year, and the year after, as this will be a new family tradition for us!
We started off the morning just like yesterday, wake up, breakfast in the hotel lobby, showers and getting ready. We packed everything up and loaded up the truck, checked out, then stopped by the lake on our way out. The girls spent some time playing in the flower garden, and we watched a couple boats go by. We thought about hanging around town for a while, but it was way too hot and WAY too humid to spend much time outside anyway, so we started on our way home. Luckily this time Amelia fell asleep shortly after we hit the road, and slept the entire ride home. Olivia fell asleep for the last half of the ride. So, it was a nice, peaceful ride home.
We picked up the dog on the way home, and we immediately unloaded the truck and I unpacked everything. I didn't want to risk having it sit around all week, and wanted to keep my nice clean house, clean! Christian and Olivia were off to his parents house for dinner while Amelia and I hung out at home. I wanted to relax and watch me some Big Brother, and the girls needed some time apart after this weekend glued to each other, so it worked out well.
Finally, it was time for bed! The girls were clearly happy to be back in their own house, in their own beds and back on routine. Bedtime went much smoother than it did at the hotel, that's for sure! You could tell Christian was pretty bummed to be heading back to work in the morning...he took this upcoming Friday off so we can get ready for Amelia's birthday party, and he's already thinking about asking for Thursday off! LOL. I am entering week 3 of being laid off, and it should definitely last the entire week. Though the Governor and some of the legislators are at the capital working on the bills, they are not even close to being done yet, so there is no special session in sight quite yet. We'll see, it works out better for me if the shutdown lasts this entire week anyway since I have to take Wednesday-Friday off anyway...saves me some vacation time I guess (silver lining?).
Here are a couple pictures from this morning, I seriously wish I were still there...
